<\/a><\/p>\nThis week we\u2019ve been getting stuck into some ice-cream inspired arts and crafts activities\u00a0 <\/a>in celebration of the many we\u2019ve been eating due to the (mostly!) lovely sunny weather we\u2019ve been enjoying.<\/p>\n First on our list was to create some puffy paint ice-cream pictures. Puffy paint is something I keep reading about but it\u2019s not something we\u2019d tackled before. But it sounded perfect for whipping up some ice-cream pictures with.<\/p>\n For even more cool ice cream ideas then check out our 10 Delicious ice cream activities for kids<\/a>.<\/p>\n We added a few drizzles of green paint to my 6 year olds sons \u201cmint ice-cream\u201d and a few drizzles of green paint and a dash cocoa powder to my 4 year olds \u201cmint-chocolate ice-cream\u201d. This smelt better than it looked but he was delighted with it. My daughter mixed up I cut out \u201cice-cream cones\u201d out of scraps of cardboard. We then glued them onto paper and drew the outlines of our ice-creams with pencil ready to be filled with the puffy paint.<\/p>\n The kids had a great time using brushes to load up their ice-creams, they certainly didn\u2019t hold back when it came to the toppings either. We used some glitter and some shiny stars in place of their favourite \u201cice-cream sprinkles\u201d.<\/p>\n The session was a big success and we had a whole shop full of ice-creams made by the end of it.<\/p>\n To keep up-to-date with my new posts and other ideas then please pop over to my Facebook page.<\/a><\/p>\n \n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How to make Puffy Paint<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
